Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Giant Stump sells for $175 against $1.29 raw: a $174 spread, 136× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.42) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
